Well I remember seeing a study that ads actually have a pretty bad return on money on average, so the problem is that selling ads is quite profitable. Platforms drown us in ads because it makes them money, and it doesn’t matter if the ads themselves are effective or not.
The US isn’t the only country, and I bet people using the fediverse skew heavily toward android in the US anyway.
To me, even numbers are bouba, and odd numbers, especially primes, are kiki.
I’d say 7 is pointy, but not really jagged. 2 is rounded and pebble like, but I’m not sure if I’d call it a circle, more pill shaped.
While it’s true that we don’t understand consciousness, LLMs don’t have the hallmarks of consciousness that humans and other animals do.
Modern LLMs are essentially just guessing the next word in a sentence. There’s no continuous experience of the world, and there’s no self, no agency.
Don’t me wrong, it’s fascinating tech, and if we do one day create machine consciousness, it might incorporate parts of our current technology. But right now it’s pretty safe to say that LLMs aren’t conscious, unless you believe in panpsychism / animism.
Laws vary around the world, but I think at a minimum, you’d need a court ruling that aliens / AIs are people.
No modern “AI” has anything resembling consciousness.
Good news, we can actually do all of the above already!
add consciousness have kids
remove consciousness die
alter consciousness do drugs
